The golf world shifts its focus to Harbour Town as the PGA Tour's RBC Heritage tournament tees off this week, just days after Rory McIlroy's historic victory at Augusta National.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler enters as the betting favorite, with odds ranging between +350 and +400, despite coming off what many consider a disappointing fourth-place finish at the Masters. The defending RBC Heritage champion is still hunting for his first victory of the 2025 season.
Collin Morikawa appears poised for a breakthrough, listed at 10/1 odds following his T14 finish at the Masters. This marks Morikawa's sixth consecutive top-20 result this season, including runner-up performances at both Kapalua and Bay Hill.
Ludvig Aberg sits third on the odds board after a strong showing at Augusta, where he briefly held the lead on Sunday before finishing seventh. Xander Schauffele (12/1) and Patrick Cantlay (as high as +2000) round out the top contenders.
According to Statbet, Harbour Town has historically favored precision players over pure power hitters, which could explain why technical specialists like Matt Fitzpatrick (2023 champion, currently 80/1) and Jordan Spieth (2022 winner, available at +3300) have found success at this venue despite longer odds.
The tournament represents one of the PGA Tour's signature events, attracting an elite field despite its challenging position on the calendar immediately following the season's first major championship.
